My goat


Okay, so this happened months ago, but since I am new to this I have a great story about a 2 year old german shorthaired pointer named Jasper Bowden, yes he is named after Bobby not Tommy or the others. Jack and I bought a party boat in March for riding, skiing, etc, we had a cover made for it that covered the entire boat from the weather since it's in our backyard, well, when we pull it out of the backyard, we take the cover off in the driveway and leave it there. The dogs stay in the backyard which is fenced in and when we get home, we put the cover back on, and put it int he backyard until the next outing. Well we had noticed pawprints all over the cover and we just thought it was the cats or neighborhood dogs walking on it. Well a few months ago, Jack had already left for work and I headed out around 730 and I happened to look in the backyard and low and behold Jasper is on top of the boat, cover and all. He had to scale a 3 foot fence and jump there, he was walking all over it. I screamed at him and he jumped down and I called Jack and he was pissed to say the least. What german shorthaired pointer hunting dog scales fenceds to sit on top of a covered boat? He is supposed to be hunting! Well, Jack went to Lowe's and put up a 5 foot fence around the boat. Didnt matters, teh next afternoon when Jack go home, Jasper was stuck on top of the boat, Jack had to go scale the fence and get him down! He is truly a goat and not a bird dog!
